I can understand your point. But the discussion shows me just people who understand very well that JollaOS is based on Mer, which is based on MeeGo, therefore JollaOS is based on MeeGo by "inheritance". There seems to be one guy who seems to be concerned about the copyright of the name "MeeGo" and that it shouldn't be use by Jolla because there is no permission from Linux Foundation.
Granted, I did not have the time nor patience to read any but few dozen of the comments. But if the rest is the same, I find this discussion silly.
Third, Jolla has declared their work connections with MeeGo and Mer - what is straightly against your thesis.
"We are going to do a new user interface. Selecting MeeGo enables us to do something new." and "So we will make a new user interface; of course we will inherit the familiar and powerful elements that MeeGo has, as we know it now(...)" from http://www.intomobile.com/2012/07/11...ext-available/.

It's more than confusing without explanation). Saying Mer based is very clear and to the point, since it narrows down the phrase to technical derivation from the Mer project (article of which is referenced right there). Historic relation with Meego is explained as well.
Wikipedia should be "for the common man". MeeGo based is the more recognizable term and should be used in the article. Mer should also be referenced, but erasing MeeGo for Mer would not serve the "general public" IMO.
Look at how the article presents it now:
Jolla Oy[1] (internationally Jolla Ltd., commonly called Jolla Mobile in many sources) is an independent Finland-based company to design, develop and sell smartphones with a mobile operating system based on MeeGo and the core of Mer which is based on the previous work of the MeeGo project.

Would've been better if you gave him the Google doc link, it's a live doc & there's changes being made occasionally.
There's at least several things that have been added/clarified since you handed that hard-copy to him.

Stop with the talking about "the link" in 3rd person without providing it.
Page one, two, 3,.. whatever I give up and can't remember.

It's been shared many times, including roughly around the times you've posted.
Plus how hard is it to back-track a bit, or do some searching? Anyway here it is.

Jolla's MeeGo UI is ready to go - and it's on the hunt for mobile talent
http://www.zdnet.com/jollas-meego-ui...nt-7000002728/
This is all sounding too good to be true, it aint right, he's got to be exaggerating a bit.

All times are GMT. The time now is 16:38.
So I guess there would be 2 models i.e. one for left handed people also and I would guess the apps ui would be like a wheel where you are viewing a portion of that wheel and they spin clockwise.
